HMO

There are many properties that will now fall under the definition of HMO (Houses in Multiple Occupation), broadly those occupied by more than 3 people who form more than one household, but this is open to interpretation by the Local Authority.

Since 6th April 2010, changes implemented by The Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) (Amendment) (England) Order 2010 mean that landlords wishing to let their property to professional sharers or students may need to obtain planning permission to change the use classification of their property.

We offer free of charge advice if your property requires planning permission or falls into the HMO mandatory licence and can assist you with any specific requirements.
